DeCastro activated today and will be dressed Sunday though he will only see a few snaps.

Aging lbers on the number ONE defense in the league. The Steelers have been "old" since 2002. Also Timmons and Woodley are 27 and 28 that's not old at all.

Drs have cleared his ribs now its just down to wether he can deal with the pain in the shoulder. We all know if it's just a pain thing he will be out there.

Dude the Steelers defense is clearly the hands down best defense in the league. The sacks are coming back and Harrison is rounding into shape. Throwing a healthy troy into the mix only makes this defense better. Brown is our best wr and our game changing player. The difference in Ben and the rest goes without saying.

This offense is a joke without him. They had more turnover then points that they lost by. With Ben and this defense plus getting brown and troy back next week they won't lose another game all year.

Trust me I'm not saying Hines wasn't dirty but those blocks were all clean block by the rules at the time and imo should still be clean blocks. You want defenders to stop teeing off on guys make them keep their heads on a swivel.

Yeah itbseems like every big athletic white guy wants to be a TE now.

This coming from somebody that hasn't looked at so he really has no clue on how bad it was and how fast Ben is healing.

That what most of the reports I'm reading are saying. They said once the swelling went down the rib wasn't as bad as first thought. There is still a chance he misses it but I think he will be under center.

so you agree if it's in the rules its not dirty

We are coming into Baltimore loaded. It looks like everybody will be back exceptfor Castro though he is now off or and practicing. Also Burgess looked really good in his first practice yesterday.

Yea I've noticedhe is quick. I played dline so I like to watch the trenches. On that play he flinched before diesel jumped though. In no way shape or form am I trying to blame the loss on that. The loss is on tomlin and lefty.

They were legal hits. I say chop blocks are dirty but the ravens do those all the time. I'm sorry but if you are chasing a defender you should expectto get hit.

When hines did it it was still legal. Hines never broke any rules with his style of play. Even after they changed the rule he was never flagged for it.

Big Ben was seen today with no sling on decastro has been taken off the if Brown and troy are comonig along quickly as well. I'm telling you when this team gets healthy they are going to be tough to beat.

Maybe the fact that after last year the Steelers didn't even offer him a contract

Go watch it again if you watch and record every game like i do oher clearly flinched. da beard was lined up in front of him and he jumoed. Even though it was just a flinch its still a false start. Look there are some losses i just go nuts over but this wasnt one of them. The team showed resolve didnt give up and the defense continued to play great. We got clevland this week and there a shot to have ben back by the next time we play. When this team gets healthy they are going to be dangerous. Getting ben, brown, and troy back in the next few weeks is huge. I love the addition of plex he may not be the wr he once was but he is still tall and can catch. Teams have been removing heath in the redzone and while our speed is great in the red zone it doesnt really matter. I like the steelers chances going forward.

Why appealmit and risk losing him for the steelers game esp.when big ben could be back by then.

8 tds and 40 catches last year with sanchez throwing him the ball. He is a great 4th wr which is what he will be. He is still tall and a re zone threat. Teams have been doing everything they cam to tale away heath in the red zone and now you cant just watch him down there. I love this signing.

rumor has it he is in pgh now and if he passes his physical tomoorow he is back with the team. Im guessing cotchery got pretty banged up on that last play. plax may not be what he once was but he still had 8 tds last year. This would give the steelers a lot of options and formations plus a 6foot 5 red zone target to mix in with miller. brown, wallace, sanders, and plex make one hell of a wr corp.

Im happy enough that my team was missing its qb and its best wr and still were in the game. Lebeau has figured out how to stop the ravens offens man up on the outsides and take away the out to smith. With the way the steelers defense is playing when they get ben back they will be a force.

LETS GO PENS!!!!!!!! This idiots need to get this shit signed didnt they learn from the last one. They were just starting to be back in the mainstream and boom no more hockey.

Tomlin made two big mistakes last night one being keeping lefty in and the other is not pounding Dwyer on 3rd and 2

In case anybody was wondering i was joking about the dirty part.
